We’ve all seen movies that claim to be “inspired by a true story.” "The Blind Side" is in that category, with the movie earning Sandra Bullock an Oscar for her performance. But the real-life figures from that story have been making headlines lately, with Michael Oher making some allegations against the Tuohy Family. Now we know what the judge presiding over Oher’s case said as he terminated the conservatorship he was in.

While "The Blind Side" got a happy ending where “Big Mike” was welcomed into the Tuohy family, things got more complicated thanks to a conservatorship and his claims that he was never actually adopted. Tennessee judge Judge Kathleen Gomes was presiding over Oher’s case with the Tuohys, and is ending the conservatorship. Per ESPN, she reacted to his conservatorship despite the fact that Oher “had no diagnosed physical or psychological disabilities.”
